I understand why though. They probably don't care about Newport, but they do care about the person in their midst. We'd be the same and they are humans and not automatons.
I'm not opposed per say, I'm just a bit skeptical. Eisner seems like a genuine guy who certainly has a good understanding of the club and it's history and doesn't seem like a chancer.... I'm more worried about what comes after him, who's to say he won't sell to another Chanrai or Gaydamak or whatever? And tbh, I do have pride about the fact that we're a fan owned club and we're run ethically and sustainably, we've erased our debts and pay our bills and conduct business in a positive way. Though Fratton Park urgently needs work going into it, and I suppose you can't let past disasters completely influence your view.....
To be honest, we have enough takeover problems of our own to worry about, just hope you take the right decision.
I understand your concerns....we're getting twitchy about our future in that sense, but you aren't sustainable. You have little money for the expensive repairs needed on Fratton Park. Income will go down if part of it has to close. Eisner seems a decent bet compared to others out there.
True, true. Fratton is the biggest issue really and I guess we aren't sustainable in the sense that the costs of the stadium will keep on rising. Though I meant sustainable in the sense of not spending ridiculous amounts and actually budgeting. Considering how long we were in the Premiership, the fact that Fratton is so shambolic is shocking really. That's what you get when you have a bunch of egotistic chancers I guess.
As it stands BRovers going down on goals scored. 1 more goal and Forest are back to going down, or an equaliser in the B'ham game and they're down.....exciting 2nd half to come!
Yep, they had it at their fingertips. Mind you, second placed promoted teams occasionally do better than the winners.
Why not take a big mortgage out and rebuild the North and Milton Ends, and pay the interest off - maybe 1,000,000 a year on a 30 million one, and gradually reduce the capital as income streams improve, and attendances rise steadily towards the 20,000 mark once the capacity has been raised? I am sure the new stands would incorporate executive boxes, restaurants, VIP lounges, shops, a gym, conference rooms and so on to generate more revenue for the club.
